Spicy Mint Albany

Not familiar with Indian restaurants in the albany area and was thrilled by my lamb vindaloo. I tried another place a few miles away and that was far superior. definitiw will be back on my next trip in a few weeks!

New management since January 2022 makes it right. The fish curry was delicious: well seasoned, fragrant served with Jeera Rice. The chief/owner Mijan has skills to inspire the palate. I look forward to many return journeys. The aroma prevented me from taking photos until I finished. Mohan is a wonderful waiter, friendly and very helpful in choosing dishes.

One of the best Desi places I've ever seen in Albany. We enjoyed every bite of our meal. Your hospitality was also great. Very recommended

It was for a lunch buffet. They gave us plastic gloves to serve food, cleanliness was maintained. The layout was good. Many varieties. It began with papdi, samosa chaat, chicken manchurian and fried rice, chicken biryani, several varieties of kebabs, fish vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, shrimp fry, onion bhajiya, idli medu vada sambar, bhindi masala, chana masala, veg biryani etc. The dessert station had 6-7 varieties of candy including, but not limited to Gulab Jamun, Rasgulla, pineapple mousse etc. Naan was served on the table. Chicken Manchurian was good, Chicken Tikka masala a little too sweet. While the food tasted good, all roasted items were cold and had become soggy. Sambar had no salt. Fried rice was not authentic. Chaat elements were awfully cold as if they were taken out of the refrigerator. Idli vada again cold. Chicken kebabs were cold therefore a little dry in taste. For desserts, Gulab Jamun was good, while Rasgulla was super dry and hard. They had a mint, cinnamon cooler that was only watery, no taste. Total experience was good. They could improve something by keeping the food hot/hot.

After hearing good comments about this place, my friend and I gave this place a try. Food was tasty, but staff seemed a bit confused. And there was a couple items that made us question their cleanliness. Including attached photo of a bug in our water...
